Twenty Eleven Schema.org Child Theme

The default WordPress Twenty Eleven theme is beautiful and functional. I wanted to make it even more functional by including added microdata in the theme by default. Google, along with several other large companies like Bing and Yahoo, introduced Schema.org, a collection of microdata formats that can be used as a common machine language to identify bits and pieces of web pages. This theme incorporates that language and embeds it directly into your site.

Example?

Sure. Here is a side-by-side of the author section of a blog post (slightly abbreviated from the real source). Note the elements that were added, and then how Google’s rich snippets tool pulls them out.

Good work – Seems like you cracked most of it. I managed to put it onto a blog in French too (it did mean however a bit of additional coding was necessary). The only thing which does not seem to mark-up is the sidebar and main navigation. Not sure why as yet.

Thanks for that great base on which to build a quick site – I solved the problems of siteNavigation, WPHeader not showing. Some small adjustments were needed in my case with the all in one SEO module and category-template.php file – http://www.lechatterbox.com

Thank you! Looks very good! I changed the homepage to show the_excerpt rather than the_post, and included my Google ads code on the post page, but other than that, it’s just like you wrote it. Good work!
